Every year, elementary schools host field days, where students get in touch with the outdoors and enjoy the competitive company of their peers. The kids participate in a variety of games ranging from tug-o-war to limbo.
With North Oakview’s field day being this past Friday, high school students are reflecting on the fun times they experienced in their time at the elementary school.
Sophomore student Abby Amos remembers the enjoyable moments of past field days.
“I had one [field day] every year of elementary school, my favorite memories were spending time with my friends during each event,” Amos said.
Recalling the past was not the only thing that made this field day fun for everyone involved. Creating entertaining moments for the young students was just as fulfilling.
Junior Kendell Berryhill volunteered to host an event at field day and found the experience to be fun and rewarding.
“[It was nice] seeing them all super excited and just having fun,” Berryhill said.
Having the power to influence young minds is an incredible gift that gets placed up student volunteers at field day. High school students have the opportunity to change the days of elementary students for the better through fun games and activities.
Northview junior and field day volunteer Hannah Hoover values the fun stemming from providing a competitive and exciting day for students.
“I am not a huge fan of being with kids all the time and I’ve never babysat, but when it’s something where you get to teach kids or do something that’s making them really happy, it’s just so much fun. It was just really [great] and they were so happy and so into it, and I just loved working with them,” Hoover said.
